Yes. I know i'm probably alone in this one, but I love Windows 8.

Crazyglues4213d ago

Actually I started off hating Windows 8 on My PC because it's a tablet O.S. -but I have come full swing over to the other side of the fence...

How crazy is that...

Why? Because It's actually pretty good. It's now my Full Time Operating System. (To explain just how that happened I'll need to Write a full review)

Which I will, just not sure where to post it.?

You're not alone. I dig the os as well.
And it's freaking fast.

I have been using it for a few months from beta to full version and i can say im not looking to go back. I was unsure if it would work on my none touch laptop but it has improved the speed and it is running alot better than windows 7 did.

Im also looking to sell my xoom when the surface is out.

Anyone waiting for SP1?...

Software_Lover4213d ago

I'm not gonna change the O.S. of my current pc's, but I will be buying a windows 8 based tablet for work soon. I wanted the surface, but with the surface pro not coming out till next year I will either have to wait, or go with the Lenovo Yoga 13. That looks like an interesting device.

Grap4213d ago

for surface yes. my PC i will keep my W7 thanks.

Crazyglues4213d ago

You might re-think that after you read my review...
